Abstract

Our body is alive, therefore expressive, and our movements are constantly tracing and composing for/with space, following the abstract expressionist trend (more specifically action painting) this is the guiding beginning of the research. The impression of the body, of its gestures on the canva, reveals the living soul of each movement that reflects in unique ways on the material expression (infinite possibilities of colors and traced lines) and immaterial (existence of different shapes, textures, flows, among other variables of the movement). Based on configurations similar to those artists such as Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline, laboratories will be held with painting sessions focusing on researching the existing dialogue between the material and immaterial expression of the movement, for the construction of proposals that delve into the variables that act in the expressiveness of the move, unfolding in a record in the form of a short film.
